The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

“Oh? Tian Yue? Yes I think there is a person by that name here. Hold on. Let me contact her first.” After saying this he took out a transparent crystal. Neither Feng Wu nor Tian Ke had ever seen such a thing before. Their curiosity was piqued and they looked on with bright inquisitive eyes.

“This is an image-transmission crystal. It uses the alignment of energy waves to facilitate communication between two parties.[notes] You can tell by the size, color and energy fluctuations of the crystal that it’s better than average. In fact it can hold several hundred connection signatures.”

Feng Wu and Tian Ke looked on with their mouths slightly agape. They shared the same feelings about the crystal - it was mysterious and fun! They paid close attention to the old man’s hand holding the crystal. Suddenly the crystal showed the image of a slim figure in white clothes.

Tian Ke immediately recognized the person. “Aunt!” There was no reply from the crystal though. The old man spoke a few words out loud and the image of his aunt appeared to become excited. Shortly after the image disappeared altogether.

Turning to Jier Tian Ke asked, “Brother Jier, how come we couldn’t hear anything.

“It looks like the crystal has three modes. Private only, which only allows the owner access to the crystal’s audio and visual content. Audio only, which allows outsiders to listen in on the audio. Visual only, which allows the visuals to be shared. Which mode to use depends on the owner.” It was obvious the old man had only allowed them to see the visuals but not hear the audio connection.

“Tian Yue will be out soon. You guys can wait here.” After saying this he closed his eyes and fell asleep, completely ignoring them.

Fifteen minutes later a slender white figure ran towards them. When this figure saw Tian Ke, she immediately went over and embraced him in a tight hug.

“Tian Ke! Why did you come to find auntie? Did something happen?” Tian Yue knew what a sensible child Tian Ke was, so he wouldn’t have come unless something big happened.

“Ah!.. . aunt.. .wooo wooo” Tian Ke had been holding back his tears for a long time. Upon seeing his aunt it was like a dam burst and he was overwhelmed. He cried unabashedly in her arms.

Tian Yue held her crying nephew certain that a major event had happened. “Don’t cry. Be a good boy and come home with your auntie first.” Tian Yue felt it improper to air out family grievances on the front steps of the school. So after thanking the old man she spoke to her nephew. “Let’s head back and you can tell me all about it.” She was about to lead Tian Ke away when he spoke up.

Tian Ke sniffled before saying, “Wait aunt, this is Feng Wu. It’s thanks to her that I was able to find you. Without her I don’t know where I’d be right now. And this is Big Brother Jier. He’s been very good to me and Feng Wu.”

Although Tian Ke was really happy to see his aunt again he didn’t forget about Feng Wu who had brought him to his aunt. She was the one who comforted him when he was afraid and protected him when he felt endangered. She also spent her own money to feed and transport him. All these things had left a strong impression of her in his little heart. She was like a sister to him, second in importance only to his aunt. Although he had yet to acknowledge all the things she did aloud, he would never forget her kindness. At this time he formally turned toward her and spoke with sincerity.

Xiao Wu thank you. Thank you for taking care of me and bringing me all the way here. Big Brother Jier, you too, thank you for taking care of me. The journey here was long and hard. Why don’t we go to my aunt’s house and rest for a bit?”

It was only after listening to Tian Ke speak that Tian Yue realized there were two other people beside him. Looking up she saw a girl with dark colored hair and eyes, reminiscent of someone from the ancient eastern countries. Next to her was a beautiful young man in a red magic robe. Judging from his red eyes and hair he was probably a fire magician.

Magicians tended to wear the colors associated with their elements because it gave them a closer connection to that element. For example ice magicians tended to favor white, water magicians favored blue, gold magicians favored gold, and so on and so forth. This boy who dressed entirely from head to toe in red could only be a fire magician.

The dormitories at Xingguang Academy were very strict. Only students and teachers were allowed to live on campus. Because of this Tian Yue and her husband lived off campus. Their house was only one street away from the school so the group made their way over there in short time.

Tian Yue’s home was a two-story western style house with a yard in the back. There were a profusion of flowers planted in the ground and a swing set for children to play on as well. She used her key and unlocked the door, letting the other three come in behind her.

Upon entering they could see that although the furnishings weren’t particularly high class, the place was clean and had a refined yet welcoming feel.

Tian Yue invited Feng Wu and the others to have a seat. Just then Little Bun started crying. He rarely ever cried, only making a fuss if he was hungry or if he had to do his business. Tian Ke turned to Feng Wu and reached out with his arms. She promptly handed Little Bun over. At this point it had become a conditioned reflex on his part and a habit on hers.

"Here."

He took a look inside Little Bun’s diaper and after seeing some squished brown nuggets proceeded to take off the diaper, wipe clean Little Bun’s bottom, and smoothly packed him into a new diaper.

Tian Yue looked on her mouth opened in a small “o” surprised at the proficiency of the action.

Once dry and cleaned Little Bun happily stopped crying and Tian Ke handed him back to Feng Fu. She brought him to her chest and made little bubbles with her mouth to amuse him. He seemed to never tire of this simple game and could play at it for days.

“This child…” Tian Yue finally spoke up.

“This is Feng Wu’s baby. He doesn’t have a name yet but we call him Little Bun.” It was obvious that Tian Ke really liked this small baby by the way he replied.

“Eh! This child is Feng Wu’s?!” Now Tian Yue was really shocked. Although she could see that the baby resembled Feng Wu, she couldn’t see any resemblance with the red-haired boy.

The baby had dark eyes and blond hair. Just from one glance she could tell the baby was of mixed blood. Feng Wu looked so young and tiny, she couldn’t be the mother of this child could she?

“How old will you be this year?” Maybe she’s just a very youthful girl in her twenties who just happens to be small? Tian Yue tried to find a reasonable explanation for the sight in front her.

“I’m fourteen.” Feng Wu answered.

“What?! You’re only fourteen!” Tian Yue’s voice was nearly a shout. She isn’t some youthful looking adult. She really is a child! coursed through Tian Yue's mind.
